With just over a month to go until the big day (I know, we can’t believe it either!) it’s time to start prepping for Christmas. Read on for the essentials…

Christmas Trees

For the perfect Christmas, the tree is crucial in welcoming in the celebrations! Whatever room you have your tree in this year, make sure it’s the main focus. Artificial trees are increasingly more realistic and come without the mess of pine needles and dirt (giving your hoover a much needed break!).

These full branched trees add a festive feature, that fill your room with joy and happiness.  The snowy effect of the Frosted Noble Fir mimics the snowfall at this time of year, and some trees (fibre optics!) even come with lights, making it easier for you when preparing for the jolly season.

Festive Lighting

Another festive essential is Christmas lighting, bringing colour and warmth for you to enjoy ! It’s easy to create an elegant and festive tree with Christmas lights and you can decorate your home inside and out with our large selection.

Make your tree a statement feature in any room as it glows on cold, wintry nights. Light up your tree with multi-action LED lights. Don’t know what colour to go for? Why not try the Multi-coloured Treebrights with timer, so you can personalise every aspect of your Christmas! Not only decorating your tree with lights but the rest of your lounge or hallway, filling your entire home with warmth and a joyful spirit.

Most of our festive lights are LED powered, check out our recent blog on the benefits of using LED’s.

To bring the merry feeling outside to your garden the 5 Piece Penguin Set creates the scene of the magical Christmas ahead. By decorating the outside of your home it guarantees Santa will know to stop off here on Christmas Eve.

Sofa Beds

Are you needing to accommodate the extended family over Christmas? Not to worry! HU offer a large selection of sofa beds too, and with a purchase like this it will increase the comfort for all of your guests and decrease your stress about finding everyone a place to sleep (avoid the Mary and Joseph no room at the inn situation!).

By day a conventional sofa, by night the extra bed needed for the family to sleep on. Our sofa beds are luxurious and functional, and come in a range of styles and colours (shop here!). Increase their practicality throughout the year as they are a great option if you need to host future guests!

Extending Dining

What better way to have everyone over for those special meals this Christmas than with our extending dining tables, making space for all your family and friends and adapting your dining space to fit all the most delicious, scrumptious and mouth-watering treats.

Adding centrepieces and garlands to your table boosts the festivity, making your table layout even more magical! We recommend using decorative features, such as winter berries, pine cones and snowy effects.

Our ranges cover traditional to modern tables, adding to the aesthetic of your space, ensuring there is a table for everyone! Check out the images of the Novara Concrete Effect Extending Dining Table below to see how extending tables can give you more space this year…

The most ideal feature of these tables is that they can be collapsed to become smaller once the entertaining period is over, so they are long term purchases with year round benefits – shop our full selection of extending dining tables here!
